Secretary Li and Huo Qi zipped their mouths, minded their own business, and acted like they didn't see anything.
Huo Ting Cheng leaned backward on the office chair gazing at Secretary Li.
"Did Huo Yang give you anything important? Something like files or a diary?" He squinted his eyes, gazing at the files lying on his desk that needed his attention.
"Nope, he said, he wanted to meet you personally!" Secretary Li responded while settling down on the couch to work on the files he had been doing on the coffee table before that emergency bell rang.
He was wearing a black suit and he mostly acted as the President of the Huo Conglomerate. When it came to physical availability, he was the one who would show up, Huo Qi was like a bodyguard dealing with things like Nanny Guo. He did the dirty work and cleaned it up.
"Just tell him I flew out; I'm not in the country in the meantime." They have never met nor crossed each other's paths! He didn't care for whatever reasons he had been looking for him for the past three months. If he had anything worth, he could have left it behind with Secretary Li unless it was something illegal and dirty.
"Sure, but I already told him so!" Huo Ting Cheng has never been free to meet anyone, he had time only for his kids.
"Do you think I scared her earlier on?" As much as they had their disagreements, he did wish sometimes that they would live peacefully and in an amicable way.
He didn't want a toxic environment for the kids; he had thought of letting her go, but with the kids, he would always postpone it.
"Maybe she was! Didn't you see her cry?" Secretary Li had already noticed he was feeling guilty, so he had to add more salt to make him feel guilty, and true to the word, Huo Ting Cheng did feel more terrible.
He picked up a file and roughly tossed it away onto the floor.
"Those are two billion dollars worth of projects. Secretary Li lifted his hands, exasperated, before withdrawing them, seeing the files lying on the floor, printed papers scattered all over the place.
Huo Qi was settled down on the other couch, holding a knife and eating an apple, his legs crisscrossed, minding his own business.
Huo Ting Cheng was feeling frustrated, so he picked up another file and tossed it away onto the floor, and the printed papers scattered all over the floor, littering the place.
"Why are you throwing tantrums like a baby?" Secretary Li smacked his lips in annoyance gazing at the scattered printed papers before minding his own business.
This wasn't the first time, he could always vent his anger on things like those for no reason.
If he knows what he did was wrong, he should face the victim and try to smoothen the rough edges.
At that moment, a guard came over, "Sixth Master Huo, Tang Shi Shi is at the entrance gate seeking audience... She came over to visit Tang Fei." He reported to him before deciding on letting her in, this has always been the protocol.
"Just let her in..." He hated this girl as she would always visit Tang Fei, and for every visit, Tang Fei would try to run away and sometimes commit suicide. This could be the adviser; he hadn't seen her and thought maybe today he needed to see this girl.
"Okay, Sixth Master Huo." The guard went back while pressing the button, letting the entrance gate slide open, letting their car in.
"You do know every time that girl visits Tang Fei, something does happen, why are you allowing her now that your wife has decided to repent?" Huo Qi thought it wasn't a good idea at all but Huo Ting Cheng wanted to test Tang Fei and see how she was going to handle this situation.
"Mind your own business..." He picked up a file to go through while killing time. Of all the days, today, he was very unfruitful.

"She should be in the kitchen, go over to her." The guard notified her of the place she would find her, Tang Xi Yu strode over to the corridor that led her into the kitchen.
She knew the directions more than Tang Fei. She was wearing a beautiful black floral dress and bunned her hair into two buns, which were divided into two equal sides through the middle.
"Tang Fei, I came over to see you, what are you doing in the kitchen? Don't you have servants?" She rushed over, opened the sliding doors, and got inside but was surprised at the sight of the kids lying on their mother's body.
She was immediately infuriated! "Tang Fei....
